Hideo Kojima would love to see a modern remake of his classic stealth game Metal Gear Solid, according to an interview with Japanese games mag Famitsu.

Talking at the Taipei Game Show, Kojima said that he'd like to see more than just the 'Classic Snake' DLC for Ground Zeroes (only available on PlayStation consoles), but his work on the upcoming Metal Gear Solid 5 means that any potential project is a long way off.

A retail worker posting on Reddit might have discovered the release date for Hideo Kojima's highly anticipated stealth-em-up Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain. User mikefancypants posted an image of a stock listing with the street date set to February 24, 2015.

He claims that until recently the listing showed a place-holder date of December 31, 2014. The new date ties in with listings on Rakuten and several other online retailers.
